Just to warn you now, regardless of the fact I am putting this on two review sites and I am using it as a revision tool too.. I have a Hamlet exam on the 20th of January and my revision - well I'm trying!!! So I am using this as an aid to remind myself about the play and the characters and also...

It is a fine summer afternoon in the year 1601. In the Globe Theatre on the south bank of the Thames the crowd waits in eager anticipation to see the new tragedy, Hamlet. The noise is deafening. In the covered galleries sit the merchants, the professional classes, the students. A few nobles and...

Hamlet by William Shakespeare Far from being an "artistic failure" as my favourite poet T. S. Eliot describes it, Hamlet is my favourite play of all time. Perhaps the best thing about this masterpiece, in addition to Shakespeare's very well-known mastery of language and fantastic characterization...

This is Shakespeare’s longest play, and of all Shakespearean characters, and Hamlet himself has more words in this play than any other Shakespeare character. It’s one of the most performed of his plays, and is one of the most quoted plays – I’m sure we’ve all heard ‘To be, Or not to be …’ even if...

This is Shakespeare’s longest play, and of all Shakespearean characters, Hamlet has the most words to say. The main theme of the play is death, which is why the enduring image of Hamlet is of him holding up Yorick’s skull – a symbolic representation of humanity confronting death...

Shakespeare’s tragedy, Hamlet was written is 1600 and is one of many political and historical dramas of it time. It touches some instinctive nerves and feeling in most audiences. I will be looking at the ghost and the significance and importance it has to the play and the characters but also to a...

It is so hard to try and write an overall review of Hamlet as there are endless subjects and things to explain, but I will try and explain as much as I can. Also as we all know, there have been professers trying to explain the play, all their loves and there are chronicles written about this play...

The Elizabethan play Hamlet is one of William Shakespeare's most popular works. One of the possible reasons for this play's popularity is the way Shakespeare uses the character Hamlet to exemplify the complex workings of the human mind. Hamlet is undoubtedly my favourite Shakespeare play and only...

First, a quick summary. Hamlet is very sad, because his father, the King of Denmark, has just died. His mom remaries soon , with his uncle Claudius. He learns that his dad has been killed and must revenge. Thanks to some sub-plots, he finally succeeds and kills Claudius. I think it's a quite...

'Hamlet' is Shakespeare's longest play. It is devoted to the mental perambulations of an oedipally confused Danish prince who, at the age of 33, is unable to come to terms with many of life's unpleasant surprises. For those who are unfamiliar with the story, Hamlet is the Prince of Denmark...

Hamlet is my favourite Shakespeare play of all time. I studied it for A Level, and then again on my degree, and it now sits proudly on my book-shelf. It begins with Prince Hamlet, overcome with grief at the death of his father the King of Denmark. As if that wasn't enough, Hamlet's dead father...

Hamlet remains the major psychological work of Shakespeare. In fact, a psychoanalyst Shakespearian fan will rejoice over the marvelous display of Freudian and Lacan theories, as well as the deep insights into the dark thoughts and contemplations which secretly arise even within the best of us. I...

Possibly and probably one of the most acclaimned pieces of work in any time, Hamlet is truly all encompassing. Perhaps many have already read the play. Note the stage directions as you study the play or as you read it and bear in mind that Shakespeare often wrote hurridly for the entertainment of...

...Or something similar. Probably one of Mr Shakespeare’s most famous plays and featuring that infamous line, ‘To be or not to be,’ Hamlet Prince of Denmark is a work that should be read by all writers. Why, because it represents what was once in the world of literature and one...
